I am soo in love with French pharmacy skincare products at the moment! Like literally everything I use for my morning and evening skincare routine is from French pharmacy brands. Bioderma, Klorane, Vichy, La Roche-Posay you name it all! It's affordable, relatively accessible now and it... works! (most of the time anyway ha!)

Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser and Eye Cream for Sensitive Skin

On my little trip to Paris last month I picked Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Moisturiser for Night (about €25) & Eucerin Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream (about €20) to go with the moisturiser. I have read so many wonderful things about their Hyaluron Filler (which I also bought) I decided to give Eucerin moisturisers a go. I asked the lady at the shop about which moisturiser would be the best for my skin and she recommended this one. So... would I buy it again?...

Yeey! I finally decided to buy YSL Touche Éclat after many months of contemplating: is it worth the hype or is it not worth the hype?... In the beauty world, this product is practically a holy grail of concealers and it would be rude not to give it a go. With House of Frazer having a massive offer on it a few weeks ago, I decided it was perfect time to just go and buy it :)

YSL Touche Éclat Radiant Touch in Luminous Radiance

YSL Touche Éclat Radiant Touch in Luminous Radiance

So, after using it for about 2 weeks I think YSL Touche Éclat Radiant Touch is worth the hype. Especially if you after natural looking 'no make-up' make-up this is definitely for you. It covers dark circles well, it is very easy to use (also for touch ups!) the texture is great and I it does lift up your complexion a little bit as well. It feels lightweight on your eyes unlike most concealing products but it does not mean it disappears after a couple of hours because it will last you all day long. I use my under my eyes but also around my lips and nose so it is multitasking as well. Sounds perfect doesn't?

Don't you love it when you go into the shop (Boots in my case) focused on getting that one thing that you actually need and you come out with a bargain? I do :)

YSL L'eclat Manifesto Eau de Toilette

That is why I picked YSL L'eclat Manifesto Eau de Toilette immediately after I saw it on the discounted shelf! I am a massive fan of YSL fragrances and I have the original YSL Manifesto so I knew I am going to love it! If you have ever smelled original Manifesto then this is a lighter version of it but I would not say is is a fresh, summery fragrance only less intense. Perfect for work. And since I started wearing it I have been hearing a few more compliments than usual haha :)

I paid just under £20 for it and it is massive 90ml but unfortunately could not find it on the Boots website although you can find it on feelunique or selfridges websites. Do you ever buy perfumes from discounted shelves? Any bargains? Love, A. xx

Since I came back from my holidays last month I have been looking for a new foundation for the upcoming winter months. I usually have a lighter coverage summer foundation (or BB cream) and start of autumn is when I usually start to look for a new one with more coverage and staying power. And surprise, surprise!... There has been a lot of new launches recently so I was spoiled for choice. This time I really wanted to make sure I am getting myself something I can rely on and will be completely happy with!So after careful consideration, reading countless reviews online, changing my mind a few times and talking to the sales ladies on the beauty counters I decided to go for something that is not a recent launch but had a lot of positive reviews from almost everyone.
